Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 20, 2003 @07:52AM from the please-turn-off-electronic-surveillance-devices dept.

NormalVisual writes "According to this article, Southeast Airlines will begin digitally recording everything that goes on during one of their flights. Moreover, they have said they will be retaining the recorded video for up to 10 years. The privacy implications here are worrying, and this sets a bad precedent, IMO." (Southeast is a charter company, not a big scheduled carrier.)

Nice, except that THEIR planes fly through OUR airspace.

They do not like our privacy laws, don't fly our airspace.
